Re: Obama promises Syria ‘won’t be another Afghanistan’

ACA was passed wasn't it? That was a promise he made and kept. Care to eat that crow now or later?

That promise is nothing to be proud of since both sides of the aisle hate it. But you go ahead and own that baby, it's all yours. Oh yeah, he kept that one. He sure did.

We're still waiting for him to make jobs his priority, that's what he campaigned on last time? Remember, the whole campaign was about JOBS.

This is the kind of question that makes you want to almost give up. The govt doesn't actually create jobs, they create an environment through the right tax policies, environment policies, trade policies, employment policies, so that businesses in this country are free to excel on their own. And when expand they create the jobs. He needs to have a more pro-business agenda, instead of the anti-business agenda he pushes. For instance, he thinks businesses should be taxed more. That isn't going to work.

Then shouldn't you be as upset with Congress. They make the laws, levy taxes. I just find it funny that people think any president has so much power, they really don't. Congress and the Senate are bigger problems to this country then the President.
